If the ignition is switched off while the wind-
screen wiper is switched on, the windscreen
wiper will continue to wipe on the same setting
when the ignition is switched on again. Frost,
snow and other obstructions on the wind-
screen can cause damage to the windscreen
wipers and wiper motor.
Remove any snow and ice from the wipers
before setting off.
Carefully detach wiper blades that have be-
come frozen onto the windscreen. Volkswagen
recommends using a de-icer spray for this.
